Prof. Dr. med. Rainer Hoffmann
Department of Adult and Pediatric Urology
Specialized in: adult and pediatric urology About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Urology at University Hospital Marburg UKGM
According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Adult and Pediatric Urology at the University Hospital Marburg UKGM ranks among the best German medical facilities for prostate cancer treatment!
The department offers all diagnostic and therapeutic services in the field of its competence and specializes in the treatment of diseases of the genitourinary system in men of all age groups. The department has 46 beds for inpatient medical care. One of the key focuses is prostate cancer treatment (certification of the German Cancer Society as a Prostate Cancer Center). The doctors of the department are also highly professional in the treatment of diseases of the external genital organs in men, pathologies of the kidneys, adrenal glands, ureters, bladder and urethra in men and women. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Rainer Hofmann.
The department’s pediatric urologists are involved in the treatment of malformations and diseases of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and genitals in newborns and children. Of particular interest is medical care for small patients with impaired urine outflow, vesicoureteral reflux, testicular malformations, foreskin stenosis and urinary incontinence, including nocturnal enuresis. Most operations in children with pathologies of the genitourinary system can be performed on an outpatient basis.
The department widely uses sparing minimally invasive surgery, namely laparoscopy and endourology. Laparoscopic interventions are mostly used for kidney and adrenal tumor resection, whereas endourological procedures serve for both invasive diagnostics and treatment of urinary tract diseases with access through the urethra. Today, sparing surgical techniques are the gold standard. They provide minimal trauma to healthy tissues, speedy recovery after surgery and minimal risk of postoperative complications.
